Racine, Wi, Us

Software Engineering Manager 2009-2010. Lead 2006-2009. Managed a diverse team of software engineers in Alpharetta, GA and Shanghai, China developing embedded C software for Humminbird and Geonav products. As the leader of the software engineering team, develop and maintain the applications that run in all of the Humminbird & Geonav fishing systems with a personal focus on sonar algorithms and signal processing. Software efforts include an update of the sonar processing algorithms to improve high speed and deep water performance. Added new Side-Imaging processing/features to permit enhanced viewing of objects on the bottom. Implemented a sonar recording & playback feature utilizing the removable SD media. Added 2D image enhancement filtering for side-imaging data to emphasize bottom features.

Senior Project Engineer responsible for the design and development of new system products. Products include the Radar Digital Display System and Rugged Display Station. Responsibilities for these projects include leading the hardware, mechanical and software development teams, supporting sales and marketing of the systems domestically and internationally, and writing software needed for these systems. Software development efforts at Barco include: Developing network based multi-threaded real-time client and server applications and libraries. Writing re-entrant thread-safe hardware drivers for Solaris, Linux and VxWorks in C for VME and PCI based boards. Coding of X11, video mixing, radar display and client/server applications running under VxWorks, Solaris, HP-UX, Linux, Windows 2000/XP.

Washington, Dc, Us

Engineer responsible for writing embedded C code for multiple Navy projects. Worked on synthetic aperture sonar system developing code which pre-processes high bandwidth sonar data on embedded VxWorks single board computers to reduce sensor data transmitted to the topside systems. Completed a Battle Space Profiler project that included porting existing sonar performance model algorithm to C, writing new Linux based X-windows graphics interface and creating Linux drivers for custom system hardware. Worked on the AN/SQQ-32 mine hunting system developing signal processing code in C running on TMS320C40 processors embedded in a HP TAC4 workstation. Worked on Real-time Acoustic Simulator for Passive Sonar system. Wrote acoustic simulation software and produced a classified technical report on a simulation issue titled "Broadband Effects of Cavitation in an Acoustic Simulation" (published in the research database at the Defense Technical Information Center).

Ft. Meade, Md, Us

Digital design engineer responsible for development of CMOS, ECL and FAST TTL logic designs. Worked on large scale gate array designs and development of system software using C programming language.
